Focus delivers plenty of shocking twists, solid humour and extremely impressive production values from beginning to end, making it a great thriller even if the romance side of the film feels a little underutilized and overly safe.
Will Smith plays squarely to his strengths, resulting in a performance and character that's naturally funny and charming. Margot Robbie has great chemistry with Smith and is able to be equally funny and charismatic.
The direction by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa is fantastic, the film is one of the cleanest and slickest in recent memory with methodical camera work. The soundtrack is really good, especially since some of the songs chosen serve a clever narrative purpose.
